The Wine:
The engaging fruit forward aromas run the spectrum from
crisp apple and pear to a slightly more tropical vein, with hints
of pineapple and coconut. While consistent with the aromas the
flavors are accented with restrained oak derived vanilla,
butterscotch and brown spice. Round and textured in the mouth the
crisp Carneros acidity ensures a bright, lingering
finish.
As an aperitif or with flavorful poultry, pork or seafood (or Asian
Chicken Salad) this Chardonnay is always a pleasure to
drink.
